VR: What You Need To Know About Acer's Mixed Reality Headset
By Justin Diaz
Acer's Mixed Reality headset is finally here, albeit in pre-order status, and here's what you need to know about the device and what it's capable of if you're planning on venturing into the world of VR and beyond. While there is already a fair number of VR headsets on the market for PC, consoles, and mobile platforms, Acer's Mixed Reality headset is different from the rest specifically for the reason that it's not just virtual reality. It's also equipped to handle and deliver Augmented Reality experiences as well as the Mixed Reality, which makes this a completely unique offering from anything else out there at the moment, though there is certainly going to be more Mixed Reality hardware in the future, and HP is also already offering its own mixed reality headset in pre-order status as well as it was one of Microsoft's partners.
Because the headset is based on Mixed Reality technology, it should provide users with a well-rounded library of content that can be enjoyed across all forms of the above-mentioned technologies, and this is a good thing as it will allow for even more development across all of them as well. When it comes to VR, AR, and MR, content is king, just like with any other form of digital content, and having the Acer Mixed Reality headset available for developers will be able to give a big boost to the types of content that will be available more so than if the headset was only focused on one or the other. Now, the first important thing to note is that the currently available version of the Mixed Reality headset from Acer that has hit the Windows store is for developers only, but for the most part the details will be the same for consumers once the consumer version is available as well. That being said there are always some things that could be subject to change, such as the design, even if only slightly, as well as the features.
Since this is a dev kit version of the hardware, much of what comes out of them will be progress towards expanding the available libraries of content once this goes into a full launch. The nice thing about this though is that it will give developers some time to actually build out their offerings and hopefully by the time a consumer version is ready, there will be plenty for users to actually dive into. Acer's Mixed Reality headset features two liquid crystal displays each with a resolution of 1440 x 1440, so pictures of anything you immerse yourself into should be crisp, sharp, and high-quality. To use the headset you'll need to have at least a GTX 980 GPU from NVIDIA if you want to meet the recommended hardware requirements, and for this version of the headset you will need to be on the Windows 10 creator's update with developer mode enabled.
As for what the content will be like once things are in full effect, it's a little fluid right now as the dev kits are just now being made available to pre-order for developers, so there isn't a way for consumers to really sit down and dive into something like they could with the HTC Vive or Oculus Rift. That said, it isn't hard to imagine what experiences will be like. Microsoft has already demoed what to expect with the Acer Mixed Reality headset – think similar to HoloLens but not as fancy, and with the ability to move between a holographic/augmented reality space into a virtual reality space at your leisure. Another good way to think about what the mixed reality world will look like, at least from the AR side of things is just to take a look at what's possible the Tango-compatible smartphones like the ASUS ZenFone AR. Through augmented reality apps with the Acer Mixed Reality headset, users would be able to, for example, put on the headset and browse through a list of furniture they might want in their home, then pull it into the real world and view it at scale to see how it actually blends in with the rest of the decor. Once done, they could move over into something virtual, like a game, and begin playing using Microsoft's advanced motion controllers for gameplay control.
The Acer headset has a 95-degree field of view so it'll be a bit lower than what you'd get with something like the HTC Vive, which sits at 110-degrees, which will no doubt play a part in how good VR experiences look compared to the Vive and other headsets with a similar field of view, but then again the Acer Mixed Reality headset is only going to cost $299, whereas the Vive costs about $799 in most cases, so there are bound to be some differences. One nice thing about the Acer headset though is that all the tracking is done within the headset, whereas with the Vive tracking is done with external ancillary sensors. Tracking is handled by the two IR cameras that sit on the outside of the headset on each side of the device, so when you get too close to a wall, these cameras are able to track it and let you know. Of course this is something that's only going to be necessary to have when immersed in VR and not AR or MR.
Because of these sensors and the rest of the technology for the headset, and the fact that it's built for Windows 10, means that users will be able to access their regular Windows 10 desktop just as if they were using the computer normally, but this time in a mixed reality setting and providing users with a huge virtual screen. Because you'll be able to use this like a normal desktop with the mouse, there is room for plenty of possibilities. Down the road it's not entirely impossible to think that there could be mixed reality versions of games that you already play in Windows 10 normally, which could prove to be pretty interesting. This headset will also eventually support Microsoft's most recently announced Xbox Console, the Xbox One X, though support for that isn't due to hit the console until next year at some point. While the content and the platform itself that this headset will run on is still in the development stages, being able to move between different types of technology and between the Windows 10 PC and Xbox console will potentially give this headset an edge over other competing hardware. Obviously there is still a lot to develop and things could change by the time these hit the market for consumers, but the Acer Mixed Reality headset definitely has lots of potential.

Because if, someone thinks the church began earlier than it did and THEREFORE what Peter preached to 'all the house of Israel' applies to the church, which has Jews and Gentiles, they could be preaching the wrong thing to unbelievers today.
The United Pentecostals, Church of Christ, Catholics, JW's ..are preaching the wrong message partly because they are taking what Peter said to Israel (Acts 2) and applying it to the church.
I posed some questions in the Christianity Under Fire group in February?
Other than a few pushy Gentiles, when were Non Jews actually and finally included in the plan of salvation and was the plan for the Jews the same as the plan for the Non Jews?
I would also like to ask what the reason for this timing was?
Cynthia and I discussed that question in Part 1.
Look at the chart below and tell me what you think.

Madness is part of all of us, all the time, and it comes and goes, waxes and wanes.
A man should not strive to eliminate his complexes, but to get into accord with them: they are legitimately what directs his conduct in the world.
Work and love - these are the basics; waking life is a dream controlled.
Outside, among your fellows, among strangers, you must preserve appearances, a hundred things you cannot do; but inside, the terrible freedom!
Sanity is very rare; every man almost, and every woman, has a dash of madness.
There is a pleasure sure, In being mad, which none but madmen know!

An up and coming young Tommy Larkins senior hurling team easily accounted for Athenry in the first round of the Senior Hurling championship at Duggan Park, Ballinasloe. The final scoreline of 5-7 to 0-3 clearly reflects the superiority of the winners who displayed a high level of fitness and earnest endeavour. Sam Stanley played a superb game for the winners and had a steadying effect on his side.
For Athenry goalie Eamonn Mullins could not be faulted and neither could Richie Williams or Ray Glynn. Hubert Conway worked very hard to inspire his colleagues but was left with too much to do to be really effective. Only Tom Qualter and Pat Madden impressed in the forwards.
Team: Eamonn Mullins, Frank Brody, Anthony Freeney, John Donnellan, Luke Glynn, Richie Williams, Ray Glynn, Hubert Conway, Sean Hynes, Tom Qualter, J.J. Kelly, Pat Madden, Michael Mullins, Eamonn King, Michael Treacy.
Sean Hynes captained the Galway minor hurling team that defeated Wexford by 3-9 to 2-4 in the All-Ireland semi-final at Athlone. The Athenryman scored a goal and two points in the minors shock defeat of Wexford and led Galway into their first All-Ireland Final in a dozen years. Against Cork in the final Hynes was joined by P.J. Molloy but the Munster champions were superior and had a comfortable winning margin, 5-19 to 2-9. The Galway team also included 'locals Mixie Donoghue and Stephen Cloonan.
Hynes and Cloonan were back in Croke Park two weeks later with the Galway minor football team who had qualified for the minor football final against Kerry. A point in the last thirty seconds earned Galway a draw in a cliffhanger. Stephen Cloonan played at right full back and according to the Connacht Tribune "Cloonan in particular had some positively brilliant moments."
In a thrilling replay Galway edged out Kerry by 1-1 1 to 1-10 to capture the title, the winning point coming in the last minute. The win brought great satisfaction to a team that played and looked like champions from the start of the campaign under the guidance of Tom Cunningham.
There was mild surprise at the Clubs Annual General Meeting when the Treasurer Pake Ruane told delegates that he did not have a proper balance sheet to give his account of the Club's finances. His 'excuse'-the Bank Strike. Delegates voted 19 to 15 in favour of a proposal that the ban should go.
Galway minor football captain Joe Corcoran raises the Tom Markam Cup after his sides 1-11 to 1-10 victory over Kerry.
In a thrilling minor football championship game at Athenry the home team held a brilliant Tuam Stars side to a draw. Tuam led by 2-3 to 1-4 at half time but Athenry battled back in the second half to level the scores in a cracking finish. The final score was Athenry 1-9, Tuam Stars 2-6. In the replay Tuam were in devastating form and won comfortably. They went on to win the County minor championship.
The minor hurlers had an easy win over Ahascragh in the in first game but were beaten by Turloughmore 6-2 to 4-4 in the North Board Final at Mountbellew. In the under 21 championship Athenry had two points to spare over their keenest rivals in the North Final, the score Athenry 4-5, Turloughmore 3-6.
Team: Mickey Farrell, Johnny Gannon, Gerry Kelly, Michael Poniard, Ray Glynn (Capt.), Tom Burke, Kieran Barrett, Luke Glynn, Sean Hynes, P. J. Molloy, Anthony Poniard, Gabriel Coffey, Noel Kelly, Noel O'Grady, John Crosby.
In the County semi-final Craughwell ended Athenry's County championship hopes with a 6-7 to 2-3 victory at Pearse Stadium.

Soji Akanbi Lauds FG Over Ibadan-Kano Standard Gauge Rail Project
in Political News
Senator Adesoji Akanbi has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for the approval of Ibadan-Kano standard gauge rail line project.
Akanbi, who represented Oyo South Senatorial District between 2015-2019 informed that the project will enhance the movement of goods and people more cheaply and efficiently between the two regions.
This commendation follows the disclosure made recently by the Minister of Transportation, Mr Rotimi Amaechi at the third Maritime Stakeholders Interactive Forum.
In a chat with newsmen in Ibadan, the state capital, the APC Chieftain also lauded the Minister for being a patriotic Nigerian; acknowledging his origin, walking the talk and keeping to his promises made to Nigerians.
"Railway transport is doubtless the most important and effective means of land transportation and plays an un-substitutable role in the socio-economic development of all economic powers. The standard gauge rail system is coming with huge economic benefits to Nigeria", he said.
Akanbi, while commending President Buhari for the transformation brought to Oyo state, added that it is a testimonial to the buildup of his quality representation that contributed immensely to the actualization of Lagos-Ibadan standard gauge rail line project; stressing that this goes a long way to show that it is important to have credible and effective representation.
While speaking on the ripple effects of the rail line in the region, he said, "any leader who supports the welfare of people in your state should be supported. President Muhammadu Buhari would always work towards creating an enabling environment for purposeful and visionary projects that will bring a lot of good to the society. When people like us are supporting him, there are reasons for it.
"Without a doubt, the construction and operation period of this project will create many derived job opportunities for Nigerians, especially our people in Ibadan; Oyo state in such areas as material manufacturing, material and equipment supply, subcontract and catering services, amongst others".
He also indicated that "to ensure timely completion of the project, local companies will have to participate in specialized subcontract works, in such areas as geographical exploration, drilling boreholes, building bridges and culverts, fire control, construction of fences, laying continuous power lines and so on.
"It is expected that the project will extensively utilize locally manufactured materials like cement and rebar, as well as imported ones like diesel, bitumen, lubricant and tyres, etc. All of these and more will bring a boost to the economy of Oyo State".
Senator Akanbi also spoke of his meeting with the Managing Director of Nigeria Railway Corporation, Fidet Okhiria, to whom he reiterated that the two rail stations at Omi-Adio in Ido local government and Moniya in Akinyele local government will not be adequate for Ibadan. He stressed that the distance between these two places is quite wide and thus pleaded with the corporation to locate a new and major station between the two areas.
"Investment in rail transport is one of the good moves by the government to resuscitate our sleeping economy and this can only bode well for Nigeria," the APC chieftain declared.

5 Practical Tips for New Auditors
In my day-to-day role behind the scenes here at SQMC HQ, I've lost count of the noteworthy tips I hear in casual conversation with our auditors, trainers and consultants. So I decided to start scribbling them down and sharing them through the Insight Column. Here are the first 5 that spring to mind:
ISO 9001 Q & A - What is meant by "scope"? (video)
The rudiment of the Standard, Ron Rivans explains the scope (essentially the purpose) of ISO 9001.
Anne Barber MCQI CQP joins the SQMC Training Division
The Scottish Quality Management Centre (SQMC) will ease its forecasted increase in demand for its QHSE auditor qualifications next year by promoting their associate business improvement consultant, Anne Barber, to its contingent of approved trainers; announced its Director of Operations, Kenny Hannah, this week.
ISO 9001 Q & A - What is the difference between 'records' and 'documents'? (video)
One of the issues we've found that newcomers to Quality Management Systems struggle with is the difference between documents and records. The new ISO 9001:2015 Standard should help with this. From now on, both are combined under the term "documented information", meaning two separate procedures are no longer required.
ISO 9001 Q & A - Is calibration important in ISO 9001? (video)
With ISO 9001:2015 finally now published as a 'full ISO' by the British Standards Institute, SQMC's Ron Rivans explains the Standard's relevance and application in respect to calibration, which comes under clause 7.6 of ISO 9001:2008 (or clause 7.1.5 of ISO 9001:2015).

In the heart of Chicago, Mayor Rahm Emanuel is waging a war against electronic cigarettes with a brazen new tax plan. In hopes of boosting the city's tax revenue, the Mayor wants to tax ecigs at a staggering rate that would be almost equal to the $7.17 tax smokers currently pay per pack of cigarettes. As more smokers are hanging up the tobacco habit in favor of the vapor alternative, Mayor Emanuel sees only dollar signs and is willing to sacrifice public health if that's what it takes to see a surge in Chicago's tax revenue.
By taxing ecigarettes and eliquids, Chicago would increase tax revenue by at least $1 million annually. The current plan would add a tax of $1.25 on each ecig cartridge and 25 cents per milliliter of eliquid. That means that a typical five pack of cartridges would carry an extra $6.25 tax. A typical 30ml bottle of eliquid would have an extra tax of $7.50.
Chicago Alderman Joe Moreno said the tax would help deter young people from using ecigs. "Big Tobacco is now going at our youth in a different way, through technology, and through vaping and e-cigarettes." Moreno believes that young vapers would be less inclined to use ecigs if the price increases.
Even if the new ecig tax is approved by City Council, it won't go very far to fill the budget hole. Right now, the Mayor needs to find hundreds of millions of dollars to revive the city's financial situation and pay police and firefighter pensions. He has also announced plans to institute a new garbage collection tax and a per-ride fee on taxis and ride-hailing services like Uber. The Mayor is even going to target property taxes, with a proposed increase that would be the largest in modern Chicago history.
For now, it's up to Chicago residents to fight back against unfair taxation. Conley issued an urgent call for vapers in the city to take a stand. "Vapor products are helping adult smokers quit. Taxing these smoke-free and tobacco-free products like cigarettes will prove to be a fatal mistake," he cautioned.
Do you think Chicago's vapers will put up a fight? Would this new tax be a fatal blow to area vape shops?
Big tobacco is getting kids hooked by… allowing B&M mom and pop stores to compete with them and take away their business? Come on. This is transparent bs. These guys don't care about "the children," or keeping people healthy. They don't even care about the projected revenue they won't get (because people will not pay those taxes and will shop online and out of city limits, thanks). They want to make some people very happy. Someones who probably run cigarette companies. This is big tobacco running the good guys out of Chicago via your typical sleaze bag politician.

National Service had been a period of both physical and spiritual exhaustion for 21-year-old Lucas Tang. By the time he completed his duty early this year, Lucas found himself drained and desiring a renewed relationship with God.
Together with friends from his parish, the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary (IHM), Lucas decided to attend the Awaken retreat organised by the Catholic Spirituality Centre (CSC).
"I heard about Awaken from friends who shared how wonderful their experience was, and I thought that it would be a good way to renew my faith. A good place to start again with God," he shared.

A: There's no way to draw the branch exactly as you want; tikz-qtree is not designed to draw trees like that.  But you can achieve a similar result by using the frontier/.style which allows you to set the terminal nodes a fixed distance from the root. In order to do this, you need to remove the [ ] from the terminal nodes (so that tikz-qtree knows that they are terminal nodes.)  I've also added some code to make the circled nodes with text uniform size.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz-qtree}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
    [every internal node/.style={draw,circle,inner sep=1.5pt},every leaf node/.style={draw, circle, minimum size=1.cm,inner sep=0pt},
   level distance=1.25cm,sibling distance=1cm,frontier/.style={distance from root=3.5cm},
   edge from parent path={(\tikzparentnode) -- (\tikzchildnode)}]
\Tree [.\node{};

A: With forest, you can simply use tier=<tier name> to align the nodes you want.
For example:

Thanks for your interest in Barkbox No Subscription!
There are boxes for just about anyone out there, but the one who has stood out in the crowd for pets is Barkbox. Located in the great city of New York, New York, Barkbox is a internet subscription-based present box service where members who signup receive a box full toys and treats for their dog each month.
Depending on the information that is available on their site, all the food and treats items are analyzed in their facility to make sure that they are safe for pet intake and, to be sure they are free of formaldehyde. This harmful chemical is often found in the majority of perishable dog food and is proven to be harmful to pets. The owners of Barkbox are dog fans, which means that they will never sell anything that they would not give to their dog. Plus they also give away 10 percent of their benefit to shelters for canines and other dog rescue organizations.
First, you need to make sure that you know how much your dog weighs, this will be actually the very first question bark box will inquire. Once you understand your dog's size, simply select the plan accordingly. They have plans for dogs of all sizes, as low a 0-20 pounds and as high as 50+ lbs!
Barkbox No Subscription – How Much Does It Cost?
All plans include free delivery and can be canceled at any time without any explanation. They charge based on your subscription, meaning that you don't have to worry about missing a ship due to a missed payment.
You can expect to receive your bark box around the 15th of each month. Previous customers have reported no issues with their boxes along with the delivery There is only one thing that you need to remember, for new members who sign up after the 10th of this month, their box will not be sent before the 15th of the next month. In the rare case that you receive a defective item or were not completely happy, you can send it back to barkbox and they will send you a replacement free of charge.
Now that we have all the general information from the way, we can dive deep into our inspection. We decided to dig deep in order to accurately examine this subscription box since we feel that lots of consumers are interested in this to their dogs.
But which one is better? We reviewed them both and will break it down for you, first let us start with the price.
Pupbox is more expensive than Barkbox and prices around $40 for one of the boxes. On the other hand, the treats and things are full sizes, meaning they are acceptable for both big and small sized dogs.
Another downside to Pupbox is that according to their online testimonials, their service is really much non-existent. Their live support chat is never online and trying to telephone or email them will probably be ineffective. The person responsible for their Facebook page tries to help, but finally they will tell you to contact Pupbox's service team.
On the other hand, Barkbox is known to possess exceptional support. Their support team is situated at New York so you will always get a responsive and educated person. Other businesses outsource their telephone support which results in communicating issues and further difficulties.
To really create our inspection comprehensive and honest, we made a decision to buy a subscription box for me personally to see what we are managing. It arrived exactly on the 15th of the month that we really liked. Continue reading for our comprehensive Barkbox No Subscription review.
We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the things we obtained in the box. They didn't appear cheap and we certainly received more value than what we paid for. Usually, for $29, we just manage to find a few treats and a toy at a pet shop, but this box had much more!
The subject for our box was Mardi Gras and our dog loved it! As a matter of fact, we are going to need to buy her of those treats because she loved them .
Our cherished fur baby does not enjoy any of the treats we have bought for her in the past, but she loved the ones who came in the bark box.
Most people will question whether or not they need to sign up for barkbox, and our answer is always to try it! Certainly, we all know you will be completely satisfied with their monthly boxes and even if you're not, that they will replace your own box or refund your whole order.
You literally don't have anything to lose with this service and we know both and your dog will be happy with the new toys and treats. If you're completely satisfied you can always cancel your subscription and no longer worry about being billed for any extra products. Barkbox is a company with very high ethics, and they will do everything required to make you satisfied.

Turrilites is a genus of helically coiled ammonoid cephalopods from the lower part of the Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian and Turonian); generally included in the Ancyloceratina. Previously (Arkell, 1957) it was included in the ammonoid suborder, Lytoceratina.

The shell of Turrilites is tightly wound in a high trochospiral, with an acute angle at the apex. Ribs are weak to strong and may have 3 or 4 rows of equal numbers of tubercles. Thought to be derived from Mariella. Includes three subgenera.

Subgenera and species
Turrilites has three subgenera.
 Turrilites (Turrilites) Lamarck, 1801
 Turrilites (Turrilites) acutus Passy, 1832
 Turrilites (Turrilites) costatus Lamarck, 1801
 Turrilites (Turrilites) scheuchzerianus  Bosc, 1801
 Turrilites (Euturrilites)  Breistroffer, 1953
 Turrilites (Mesoturrilites)

Subgenus Turrilites has weak ribs and strong tubercles. Subgenus Euturrilites has strong ribs, commonly depressed in middle, especially on early whorls, and no tubercles. Subgenus Mesoturrilites has almost no ribs and clavate tubercles that tend to form spiral ridges.

2015 Residential Bathroom | RB Schwarz, Inc.
My client lives in a historic home built circa 1917. The master bathroom had seen little change since the house was built. The bathroom was a Jack and Jill with one door leading to a large dressing room and the other door leading to the master bedroom. The bathroom is only 7 ft. 4 in. by 9 ft. 11 in. My client wanted to remove the bath tub/shower combo and install a large shower with a frameless glass door. All the plumbing fixtures needed to be relocated. There was a large radiator which would need to be replaced and relocated. The electrical wiring was replaced. We installed a new distribution panel and upgraded the service to the house. The door to the dressing room needed to be relocated to make room for the new vanity.
It was very important to my client that we reuse the original doors. But she no longer wanted swinging doors, she wanted the doors installed in pocket door frames. In addition, we needed to replace the original sink with his-and-her sinks. My client requested two 24 inch feature niches, one in the shower and one reflected on the opposite wall.
To meet my client's needs we gutted the bathroom and ripped out all the plumbing down to the basement floor. The walls, floor and ceiling were leveled and squared. We removed a small closet so we could relocate the dressing room door. Both the bathroom doors were installed in pocket door frames. We built a custom vanity so we could get two sinks installed without having to change the bathroom window. We installed a new narrow profile radiator, white Carrera subway tile and a wood wainscot.
Every aspect of this job was custom. It was very challenging and great fun at the same time.
New sink run. We have removed the angled wall and the old sink. We have installed two sinks, one on either side of the window. The old radiator has been replaced and relocated. The door to the bedroom has been rehung and installed in a pocket door frame.
The original sink, which was installed on a short-angled wall, with a medicine cabinet above. We removed the sink and cabinet. The water lines and drain lines were relocated so that we could install two sinks on the back wall of the bathroom. A large radiator was centered on the back wall of the bathroom. The radiator needed to be replaced so that we could install the vanity and sinks.
The new front wall. The bathtub and a small closet have been removed. In its place a new forty by fifty-four inch shower stall with a frameless glass door. The shower features white Carrera subway tiles on the walls and Carrera hexagon tiles on the floor. Please note, the feature mosaic niche in the shower. The niche is repeated on the opposite wall beside the toilet. The two niches are directly in line with each other and were a very important feature to the homeowner/designer. It was a great deal of work to get these 2 niches aligned properly. Also note the wood wainscot in the corner by the toilet. This was another important design feature to the homeowner.
The original bathtub along the front wall of the bathroom. The tub surround was made of plastic tiles that were installed over the original plaster walls. There was a closet to the right end of the tub that we removed so that we could relocate the toilet and build a new shower stall with a frameless glass door. If you look at the left bottom of the picture you can see the edge of the master bedroom door that opened into the bathroom. This door was relocated and installed in a pocket door frame so that we could build the new shower stall.
The new shower plumbing. The old shower heads have been replaced with a rain head in the center of the shower stall. We also added an adjustable hand-held shower head for showering and cleaning the shower stall. Note, the old shower caddy is gone, replaced by the shower niche.
The original shower head. Note the caddy hanging from the shower head.
View of the bathroom from the master bedroom. You can see the new radiator at the new location. The door pictured was relocated and rehung in a pocket door frame. Pocket doors were difficult to install because we were using different thicknesses of lumber. The original doors had been cut and planed several times over the years. We had to cut and plane them square in order to make them close properly.
The finished wood wainscot. It was a challenge to build and install. We had to be very careful not to drive any nails into our pocket doors.
Preliminary design for the wood wainscot. The wainscot was installed around the walls outside the shower.
A close up of one of the two niches. The niches feature white Carrera marble shelves. The back of the niches are done with Blanco Carrera elongated octagons with 5/8 inch Ming green dots mixed in.
Lighting: the original bathroom was poorly lit. The homeowner/designer selected these beautiful pendant light fixtures to hang over the sinks. The fixtures are designed by Thomas O Brien. We also added can lights in the ceiling and a fan light in the shower to better light the room.
The finished cabinet in the cabinet makers shop.
My client wanted a vanity that looked like a piece of furniture. This drawing shows the leg detail. The legs needed to be designed so that we could get the shelves the right height for the storage baskets as well as making sure we had enough room for the under mount sinks and plumbing.
Dust control was a very important on the job. The house is old and we had to protect against dust. This photo shows the bathroom after we removed the entrance door and the closet door. We are standing in the bathroom looking at a temporary wall we built to protect the dressing room. My client had many clothes in this room, too many to move. They needed access to their dressing room on a regular basis. We built this wall complete with a door to keep dust out. We also placed clean mats on the floor to keep from tracking dust. In the far right you can see one of the two pocket door frames that we will later install.
This photo shows the pocket door frame installed between the bathroom and master bedroom. The plastic is the second curtain wall we had to build to keep the dust out of the master bedroom.
Photo shows the window and on the back wall of the bathroom.
Photo shows the old window with new trim. The radiator has been pulled out and we have installed new plumbing for two sinks.
Bathtub on demolition day as we start to remove plaster and tile.
The old toilet/closet wall about to be removed. Note the plastic tile that was around the old toilet tank.
There was no easy way to get the debris out of the house. The bathroom was in the back of the home and above a garden and an exterior staircase. We built a chute to get the debris out of the house. The chute was almost 24 feet long.
Photo shows the tub wall after demolition.
Photo shows the gutted floor. We have installed new floor joists and replaced all the plumbing.

R.B. Schwarz and his crew of professionals completely remodeled our master bath and upgraded the electrical panel and plumbing in our century home.
His work was second to none, his professionalism exemplary. He and his crew were very careful of our home and contents. As a designer I work with professional contractors all the time. I would not hesitate to recommend R.B. Schwarz for any project. He and his crew followed my design almost exactly and even when I wanted difficult modifications he complied. We are thrilled with our new bathroom and plan to have him continue on other projects.

Obama holds firm on contraception coverage
(RNS) — The Obama administration said Jan. 20 that it will not broaden the religious exemption in new rules that require employers to provide contraception coverage to employees, a move that angered religious groups and opened a high stakes election-year fight.
Instead, the White House will give faith groups a one-year extension to find a way to comply with the mandate without compromising their beliefs.
The White House privately assured religious leaders — especially those who head the Catholic hospitals, universities and social service agencies most affected by the employer mandate — that President Obama will be directly involved in efforts to find a workaround that would satisfy their concerns.
And church sources say the president personally conveyed the decision in a phone call to New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.
Whether it will be possible to reconcile the contraception mandate with the religious dictates of faith-based employers is unclear. What is clear, however, is that religious groups intend to mount an all-out fight to defeat the new rules.
The administration is hoping to develop a system like the one used in Hawaii, which, like most states, mandates birth control coverage but mitigates it through a complex process that tries to accommodate religious employers.
Critics said the one-year window will not tamp down the issue until after the November election as the administration may have hoped, nor will it mollify religious leaders like Dolan.
"In effect, the president is saying we have a year to figure out how to violate our consciences," Dolan said in a sharply worded statement.
"To force American citizens to choose between violating their consciences and forgoing their healthcare is literally unconscionable," Dolan added. "It is as much an attack on access to health care as on religious freedom. Historically this represents a challenge and a compromise of our religious liberty."
Galen Carey, the Washington director for the National Association of Evangelicals, was equally critical of the regulations, which were issued by Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
"No government has the right to compel its citizens to violate their conscience," Carey said Friday. "The HHS rules trample on our most cherished freedoms and set a dangerous precedent."
The Catholic bishops have led the charge against Obama's contraception policies and other issues — chiefly gay rights and same-sex marriage — and have sought to frame them as a battle to defend religious freedom from encroachments by the administration.
Those arguments have also been taken up by social conservative activists and most prominently by the Republican presidential contenders, who regularly rebuke the president over religious freedom issues.
But the contraception decision also disappointed the administration's Catholic allies who backed the administration on other controversial issues, such as health care reform. Those Catholics, like other Christians in the progressive camp, had expected the administration would expand the exemption.
In the end, intense lobbying by abortion rights and women's groups carried the day.
"This was a missed opportunity to be clear on appropriate conscience protection," said Sister Carol Keehan, president of the Catholic Health Association, whose support for Obama's health care reform bill helped it become law but earned her the anger of the Catholic hierarchy.
Keehan's group represents more than 600 Catholic hospitals nationally, employing more than 750,000 people. When the HHS regulations were originally proposed last August, Keehan had dismissed the scope of the religious exemption as "the parish housekeeper exemption" because "that's about all it covers."
The HHS regulations define a religious employer as a nonprofit that "has the inculcation of religious values as its purpose" and "primarily employs persons who share its religious tenets" and "primarily serves persons who share its religious tenets."
That language would cover, for example, St. Mary's Catholic Church but not St. Mary's Catholic Hospital, or Catholic universities or social service organizations that employ and serve people of all faiths, or no faith.
In her statement, Sebelius reaffirmed that the regulations would not impact existing conscience protections that exempt religious institutions and employees on other issues, like abortion.
The new rules emerged from Obama's health care reform law, which requires coverage (without charge) of all contraceptive methods approved by the Food and Drug Administration. It includes emergency contraceptives like the ella and Plan B pills, as well as sterilizations procedures, that many religious groups consider immoral and unacceptable.
But while some religious leaders said they would work with the administration to try to develop a workaround policy, religious groups on all sides pledged to lobby Congress to overrule the HHS regulations by enshrining conscience protections in law.
In the midst of an election year, and with the House controlled by Republicans and the Senate by Democrats, that could augur a protracted political brawl.
Experts said there is also the possibility that religious groups could win a court challenge. The U.S. Supreme Court has showed that it is sympathetic to conscience concerns; earlier this month the justices unanimously upheld the "ministerial exception" that protects religious employers from being subject to many workplace discrimination statutes.

Syrian Crops Ablaze in Cold-Blooded Revenge
(Damascus) This year's rain season in Syria was exceptionally good nation-wide. Farmers were particularly optimistic that a good harvest would alleviate some of their eight-year long hardships, caused by the devastating conflict that broke out in March 2011.
That optimism was short lived. Syrian farmers now seem to be doomed, with dense smoke billowing from their charred fields of wheat and barley. The fields were deliberately set on fire, suffocating their humble dream. Crop arsons spread fast and wide, from Syria's fertile northeastern provinces bordering Turkey and Iraq, all the way to the southern governorates of Suweida, and Dara's crop fields near the Jordanian borders.
Initially, blame was put on the searing heat and high temperatures associated with dry winds that swept the country. But soon, the fires increased in numbers and scope. The gruesome reality struck home, right to the very heart of Syrian communities – particularly in farmers who depend on a good harvest season in order to sustain a living. Now, the crop fires have been proven to be deliberate arson attacks, with traces of inflammable materials and bags full of them discovered before going ablaze. The material was deliberately spread across a number of ready-to-harvest fields in southern Syria. Videos of arsonists dancing after setting crop fields alight in the northeastern plains of Syria, targeting a large chunk of Syria's poorest population, has been verified.
The biggest question quickly became: Who is behind these barbaric arson attacks and why?
ISIS terrorists were quick to claim responsibility for setting fire to tens of thousands of acres of crops and farmland in Syria and Iraq out of revenge.
It all started last month, when tens of thousands of acres of crops across Syria and Iraq were set ablaze. This left many already war-beleaguered farmers in despair, during what was anticipated to be a very promising harvest season. ISIS claimed responsibility for the first of the fires in their weekly newsletter, urging followers to start more. Kurdish militants in northeastern Syria and others in the southern provinces were quick to follow suit. Images circulated of burning fields and desperate farmers watching their crops burn in front of their very eyes.
Arsonists used various methods in setting the wheat fields and other farmland on fire by spraying inflammable material across the dry crop field, hiding strong magnifying glasses on poles inside the field that use the scorching sun heat to start fires, or even driving through the farmland with SUVs and pickup trucks and torching the dry farmland.
Many people and farmers soon realised that the volume of wildfires happening during May was significantly above the naturally occurring wildfires that often strike around this time of the year. The fires intensified in nature, scope and damage inflicted. This occurred almost simultaneously with similar incidents in Iraq.
ISIS have claimed responsibility for almost 90% of the 130 mega fires that have been recorded in Iraq alone. But some observers note that, "given the ISIS tendency to claim even the local car crash down the street, we need to take all of that with a considerable pinch of salt". Others, however, point out the fact that ISIS extremists have already demonstrated and implemented a range of inhuman practices, along with their beheading and innovative torture techniques and atrocities, such as poisoning wells and adopting scorched earth tactics in rural areas in Syria and Iraq Why not set crops and farmland on fire?
Tens of thousands of crop acres, predominantly wheat, have been lost to the deliberate wild fires. The devastation is aggravated by the fact that this year's rain season, with record precipitations in many parts of Syria, came after years of drought and poor harvests, let alone eight years of war that has crippled many sectors of the economy, including agriculture. Prices of vegetables and fruit have rocketed in recent years, and farmers were relying on the good harvests to make up some of the losses they have suffered in previous seasons.
To make an already desperate situation even worse and much more dangerous, terrorists and arsonists seem to have planted explosive charges and mines along the routes to some of the fields, with the aim of targeting first responders trying to put out the raging fires.
Kurdish PYD militants have threatened Arab farmers who refuse to sell their crops in Syria's richest and strategic northeastern provinces. Many clashes were recorded between local Arab farmers and Kurdish separatists in al Hassakah and other northeastern areas over this issue, which followed a series of repressive measures taken by Kurds against the Arabs, particularly Christians, in areas under Kurdish control.
Targeting the farming communities in rural areas might frighten some, but such unprecedented deliberate arson attacks against the very essence of farmers' means of survival is bound to unite the rural communities against ISIS or any other terrorist organisation. Popular uprisings in Kurdish-controlled areas are on the rise, and so are attacks against PYD military outposts east of the Euphrates river.

A aquaporina 2 (AQP2) é encontrada nas membranas celulares apicais de túbulos e ductos que conectam os nefrónios à uretra e em vesículas intracelulares dessas células.

Esta aquaporina é regulada de duas formas pela hormona peptídica vasopressina:
 Regulação de curta duração (minutos) através do transporte de vesículas AQP2 até à região apical, local onde se fundem com a membrana plasmática apical.
 Regulação de longa duração (dias) através de um aumento da expressão do gene que codifica a AQP2

Mutações neste canal estão associados com a diabetes insipidus nefrogénica, que pode ser autossómica dominante ou recessiva.

O lítio, muitas vezes utilizado no tratamento de distúrbio bipolar, pode levar ao aparecimento de diabetes insipidus adquirida, devido à diminuição da expressão do gene AQP2. Isto pode causar aumentos na produção de urina.

A expressão do gene AQP2 é aumentada durante condições associadas a retenção de água, como durante a gravidez e insuficiência cardíaca congestiva.

After 12 years with Rexall, most recently as vice president of pharmacy, I decided to return to my community pharmacy roots.
Although the impetus for my transition was more personal than professional – I wanted to spend more time with my family, specifically my son, who is starting high school – there is no doubt my timing is fortuitous. It's an unprecedented time for pharmacy and pharmacists. Never before have we been able to do so much for our patients.
Still, this was a difficult decision for me. I loved my job. Rexall felt like a family, but in the end my own family has to come first. Leaving Rexall was life-changing. In May, I exited the boardroom for the dispensary; I said goodbye to working with executives and hello to helping patients.
Initially, once I had made the decision for a career change, I planned to take the summer off then look for a job in the fall. Those relaxing months never happened. I had spoken some years ago with Drug Trading about my interest in purchasing the I.D.A. pharmacy in Westport, Ont., where we have a cottage and my family has roots. A few weeks before I planned to leave Rexall, it came on the market. Call it what you will, but the stars certainly aligned.
While the first few months in my new job were hectic – not to mention exhilarating and nerve-wracking, it has been so satisfying. Customers have been warm and friendly, and the physicians in the area have welcomed me to the team. I've settled in; now there are days I can't remember not being a community pharmacist.
Although the town I practise in has about 680 residents, but the pharmacy draws on a significantly larger area. We serve over 2,000 households and just as many cottages where the summer residents live here April to October.
Returning to community pharmacy has been like wearing a pair of comfortable old slippers – and trying on new shoes for the very first time. The staff has been incredible. They are so efficient, and they know everyone. When I arrived there was this fabulous synergy. They are familiar with the nitty-gritty, day-to-day essentials. I have the bigger picture. Of course, I hadn't dispensed in nearly a decade. I did a lot of continuing education, and I did a lot of reading. With Rexall, I liaised frequently with national pharmaceutical representatives to provide information to pharmacists on their products. That helped me in my new role.
I started as a community pharmacist nearly 25 years ago and although the environment today is totally different, at its core, it is still the same. Patients still have a lot of questions and expect answers from the pharmacist.
They are also more aware of what pharmacists can do and are looking for these services. Flu shots, for example, had not previously been provided in my store. Patients were wondering about this. Now it is available, and upon a direct order from our physicians we also provide other injections, including vaccines. In rural areas that is important. You no longer have to travel great distances to make the return trip to the doctor with your serum. There are also no walk-in clinics in my area, so we now prescribe for a variety of common ailments through a medical directive with our physician partners.
It's about more than convenience. It's about trust. For me, it's also about reaffirming what as a pharmacy executive I had been telling pharmacists for years they could be doing. Now, it is my turn to practice what I preach. I wouldn't have it any other way.
Former Rexall executive Tracey Phillips is now pharmacist-owner of I.D.A Guardian Westport Village Pharmacy, Westport, Ont.

Microsoft Windows Firewall security
Learn how to manage Windows Firewall, disable the Microsoft firewall and the basics of Windows Firewall in this section of our network access learning guide.
Learn how to use Windows Firewall to protect your network from malicious hackers in this section of our network access control learning guide. Excerpts from Mark Minasi's book, Mastering Windows Server 2003 Upgrade Edition for SP1 and R2, can be found in the tips below, along with a short series of tips and advice from our Windows security experts. Learn how to set up IPsec bypass, permit Ping, make server applications work with Windows Firewall and more.
Microsoft network access protection with NAP and NAQC
Microsoft network endpoint security tips and tactics
Remote access security measures for Windows users
VPN security testing and maintenance
Windows Firewall is Microsoft's overhaul of their previous firewall, Internet Connection Firewall (ICF). In general, according to Windows security expert Mark Minasi, a "firewall refers to any of a number of ways to shield a computer network from other networks." When one of the "other networks" includes the vast space of the internet, it becomes clear that a firewall is a necessary security tool for any Windows network.
Locking up the ports: Windows Firewall
This upgrade to best-selling author Mark Minasi's Mastering Windows Server 2003 covers all the undocumented updates and new features for Windows Firewall in Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2003 R2. With clear and easy instruction, this book update tells you all about the SP1 and R2, including security enhancements, management and administration tools. If you work with or depend on Windows Server 2003, this book is for you.
Windows Firewall basics
Writing that batch file might be impressive, but, again, it'd be a lot of work. Fortunately, you needn't do that, because of the things that Windows Firewall does. Put briefly, here's an overview of what kind of firewall services it offers and what else might be appealing about it.
Basically, WF is a stateful packet filter; by default, all packets trying to enter a system with WF enabled will be discarded unless those packets are responses to queries from that system. Unsolicited packets never get past the TCP/IP stack.
WF lets you create exceptions for particular ports from particular ranges of IP addresses; for example, it's possible to say, "Accept unsolicited packets on port 25, but only from the range of addresses from 192.168.0.1 through 192.168.0.254." When paired with IPsec on Server 2003 and R2, WF can do some impressive things via something called IPsec bypass.
Windows lets its firewall behave in two different ways ("profiles"): one where the system is inside the corporate firewall, and another when outside the firewall. (Clearly having two different behaviors for WF is of more interest to XP users -- XP SP2 introduced WF—than to server users, as most of us don't carry our servers outside the building.)
The Specific WF "Firewall Rules"
Still wondering if WF is worth looking at? Then let's get very specific about what it blocks and what it can't block, why Microsoft took the time to create this newer WF, and whether or not you should consider enabling Windows Firewall on your 2003 or R2 system (it's disabled by default) or whether to disable it on your XP boxes (it's enabled by default). First, let's more exactly answer the question, "How does WF decide whether to block or pass information?" With just a few rules.
WF Must Be Enabled to Do Anything
First, of course, it's got to be enabled before it'll monitor packets. It is, again, off by default on Server 2003 SP1 and R2 and on by default on XP SP2.
WF Never Blocks Outgoing Traffic
If your computer wants to send out an IP packet of any kind to any system on the Internet, then WF couldn't give a hoot. Now, this turned out to be a fairly controversial issue at Microsoft, and an early version of WF in XP SP2 could block outgoing traffic. The idea was that if the buffer overflow worm du jour entered your system via port 515 (I'm making that up) and, after infecting your system, it tried to communicate with other systems on port 515, then it might be nice to be able to write a group policy that would block any outgoing messages destined for port 515, caging the worm until all of the infected systems could be found and disinfected. It didn't seem like a bad idea at the time, but some folks had an argument against it, and so WF will always pass outgoing packets. (And, in an interesting Part 2 to the story, Vista's version of WF will supposedly allow you to block outgoing packets. We'll see.)
SearchWindowsSecurity.com also features excerpts from this book covering topics such as when you should (or should not) use Windows Firewall, making server apps work with Windows Firewall, IPsec Bypass and permitting Ping.
Managing Microsoft's Windows Firewall
Microsoft's Windows Firewall can give network admins a headache. When can you shut down Windows Firewall? What is the best firewall configuration for your network? Where is the line between security and functionality when it comes to firewall settings for remote users? The list of questions goes on. Check out the advice of our Windows security experts to find out when to use Windows Firewall, how to configure it for remote users and what can cause Windows Firewall to automatically shut down.
Can I disable Windows Firewall
Often, you might choose to run a firewall other than WF and thus disable Windows Firewall entirely. According to Windows security expert Jonathan Hassell:
You can't uninstall any Microsoft Firewall solution as they're built into the respective products: the Internet Connection Firewall for Windows XP Service Pack 1 and the Windows Firewall for XP SP 2. To disable the Windows Firewall, go to Control Panel, Security Center, and then disable the firewall under the appropriate section. If you are still running Service Pack 1, and you have any sort of choice in the matter, install Service Pack 2 immediately.
There are no real risks in using a third-party firewall, although I must question why you'd want to do that. The third-party firewalls have more features, sure, but the Windows Firewall in XP SP 2 does a fantastic job at its core mission and is really all you need if you have an anti-virus program, another firewall on your router or other edge protection, and so on.
Additional information on Windows Firewall:
Security without firewalls: Sensible or silly?
The San Diego Supercomputer Center has had only one compromise in nearly six years, without using a firewall. The SDSC's security manager explains how.
Does making Windows SP2 my primary source of virus protection disable the Windows firewall?
When I installed Windows SP2, McAfee asked if I wanted it to be the primary source of virus detection. Since I do not have a McAfee firewall but only a virus scanner, is this disabling the new Windows firewall? Where in Windows is the priority for McAfee over Windows set? How is this priority reversed if required?
Featured Topic: Windows Firewall:
If you aren't currently running a local firewall on your company's computers, the new Windows Firewall is a great way to secure your computers for free. But, if you've already deployed a third-party firewall, Redmond's offering is not for you.

Acid attack survivors brave the catwalk at fashion show in New Delhi
by Agencies , (Last Updated November 27, 2017)
NEW DELHI: Brave acid attack survivors in India have taken to the catwalk to raise awareness and improve their self-confidence.
Organized by Make Love Not Scars, The PowerWalk fashion show was held in New Delhi and featured nine women who have been subjected to life-changing assaults.
Around 20 designers from across India donated outfits for the event, which were then auctioned to raise money for the campaign.
Founder Ria Sharma said: "Some of these girls have never been accepted this way, never been pampered, and have never come together just to have some girlie fun. Yes, they're nervous about being looked at but only because of the way people have treated them in the past."
"The idea for PowerWalk was to give the girls something to build their confidence. If they can overcome something so daunting as walking down a catwalk in front of loads of people, they can overcome anything."
Reshma Bano Qureshi, 20, was one of the nine involved and was also invited to star in New York Fashion week last year, just two years after she was attacked by her brother-in-law as he tried to attack his wife and Reshma's sister.
She said: "I enjoyed my experience on the catwalk so much last year. It's great that the other girls can experience it now too."
Miss Sharma first came across acid attack victims in India after she filmed a documentary while studying at Leeds College of Arts.
She said: "While I was studying fashion at the Leeds College of Arts, I came across a picture of an acid attack survivor and it really moved me. I went and spoke to my professor about it. As I was due to give my final major project, my professor suggested that I should go back to India and shoot a documentary on the subject."
But while filming her documentary she became aware there was a major lack of awareness of acid attacks and a serious lack of help on the ground.
She decided to take the name of her film, Make Love Not Scars, and turn it into a fully-fledged organization. For three years the charity has helped many young women by building their confidence and reintegrating them into society.
Keshav Suri, executive director of the Lalit Group of Hotels family, which hosted the event, is passionate about supporting minority groups in India.
He said: "A friend of mine introduced me to Ria this summer. I've been championing the LGBT community for many years and I like to help marginalized communities. There are so many other marginalized communities in India and across the world and I did some research, and something happened, I started to think what have I done? What can the corporate sector do to help? I realized that I needed to do something before I started telling politicians and so forth to do something.
"This community needs skilling. I want to hire them and I will employ them wherever, and in whatever role they're comfortable with. I will help.
"If I can do something in my privileged life, and I consider myself very privileged, why not? And I want to tell other company owners to stop complaining that there are not enough skilled people, start skilling the marginalized communities and you'll have loyal workers for life"

rubyonrails but anyways, I think cs, or at least any college course intended to produce people that know how to make software, should actually include people making it Ive always had a knack for google I dont really end up using all the advanced boolean stuff fitheach: you can write it into application_helper i just happen to use the right keywords to get what i want chapel: exactly!
Kriyasurfer chapel: exactly! Knowing the keywords. I bet you that is a skill closely correlated with someone's ability to write and manipulate source code.
fitheach Kriyasurfer: okay. hm, always that like that, but this one is also crowded with code from simplelog. I would like to have something, that is based my theme for simplelog.
infrid Hi.... same old question again.. any of you's using rails with flex, via flex remoting?
Kriyasurfer fitheach: ok... write it in a separate file then include it into your helper. Are you going for global or controller-specific helpers?
Kriyasurfer chapel: yeah. In the case of the guy with the browser-specific detection, he was looking for a way to do it for opera. My guess was that he included "opera" in his search terms, when if he had not done so, he can get better results.
chapel was he looking for a specific language based solution?
chapel keywords "browser detection rails"
Kriyasurfer He claimed that he did not find any useful results.

Table, Records, and Fields
Tables, Records, and Fields
A database table is composed of records and fields that hold data. Tables are also called datasheets. Each table in a database holds data about a different, but related, subject.
Figure 2 Database Table
Data is stored in records. A record is composed of fields and contains all the data about one particular person, company, or item in a database. In this database, a record contains the data for one customer support incident report. Records appear as rows in the database table. A record for Log ID 1201242 is highlighted in Figure 3.
Figure 3 Records appear as rows in a database table.
A field is part of a record and contains a single piece of data for the subject of the record. In the database table illustrated in Figure 4, each record contains four fields:
Log ID A number assigned to this customer support incident for identification purposes
Operator The code for the customer support operator who handled this incident
Resolved A check box to indicate whether the incident was resolved
Duration The time in seconds the operator spent on this incident
Fields appear as columns in a database table. Data from the Log ID field for five records is highlighted in the Figure 4.
